Chapter 94 Look, Xiao Jinyan is forcing me again

"Forget it, forget it, I'll just go back and wash it later."

Shen Mingzhu let down the hem of her skirt, barely covering her shoes, so they couldn't be seen unless you looked carefully.

She glanced at Shen Chuwei lying on the couch and couldn't help but complain, "She's sleeping like a pig. Who takes such a long nap?"

As soon as the little rabbit ran out, Guixiang caught it. When she got closer, she smelled the unpleasant smell of feces. "If you keep running around and making things dirty, be careful or your master won't want you anymore."

As he spoke, he walked towards the well, intending to give it a bath.

An hour later, when the lights were turned on, the temperature dropped sharply.

Shen Mingzhu couldn't stand the cold, and she wouldn't wait for anyone.

"go back."

Shen Mingzhu turned around and walked out, intending to go back to warm herself by the fire. As soon as she came out, she smelled a fragrant aroma and her stomach growled twice. When she smelled it again, it smelled even more fragrant.

After waiting for two hours, I was already hungry.

Shen Mingzhu looked towards the small kitchen and saw Chunxi busying herself in it. Just as she hesitated, she heard Liu Xi's shrill voice.

"The prince has arrived."

Shen Mingzhu was delighted when she heard this. She thought her four-hour wait was worth it. She quickly put on her clothes and dressed.

Xiao Jinyan walked in with grand strides in a moon-white satin robe with wide sleeves and gold weave.

Shen Mingzhu hurried forward to greet him, "May your highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan saw Shen Mingzhu frowning, "It's so late, why are you here?"

"Your Highness, I haven't seen my sister for a long time. I came to visit her today after my house arrest was lifted. But my sister was too sleepy and I couldn't bear to wake her up, so I waited until now." Shen Mingzhu pointed out implicitly that Shen Chuwei did not have the courtesy to serve as a guest.

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "She has just recovered from a serious illness and needs to rest. Don't disturb her unless necessary."

Shen Mingzhu thought that His Highness would at least reprimand Shen Chuwei, but he ended up speaking up for her.

"I understand."

Shen Chuwei was woken up by hunger. When she opened her eyes, she found it was dark. Usually, Chunxi would wake her up after she slept for an hour. But today, she slept for such a long time, but Chunxi didn't wake her up?

She stretched and just as she lifted the mink blanket, she saw Xiao Jinyan walking in.

She was startled. Why did Xiao Jinyan come here suddenly?

"Your Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan found that the window was not closed. He frowned and said, "It's windy outside, why are the windows not closed? If you catch a cold, you will suffer."

"I forgot, but I'm not cold." Shen Chuwei said as she stood up, picked up the coat beside her and put it on.

Chunxi trotted in and closed the window.

Shen Mingzhu followed behind His Highness and heard their conversation. She snorted in her heart. His Highness was simply blinded by her beauty. Shen Chuwei had clearly opened the window on purpose to catch a cold so that she could pretend to be sick and win His Highness' favor.

Xiao Jinyan: “…” You shut up!

As a food lover and a miracle doctor, Shen Chuwei immediately smelled a very bad smell: "What is that? It stinks so bad?"

She smelled the stench and came to Shen Mingzhu, asking in confusion, "Shen Liangyuan, what kind of gouache did you use? It smells so bad."

Shen Mingzhu had been suppressing her anger for the whole afternoon. She immediately became angry when she heard this. However, because His Highness was present, she had to suppress her anger. "What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Shen Chuwei replied: "Your Highness, I smell a foul smell of shit."

Shen Mingzhu was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick: "Your Highness, I wash and dress myself every day and pay attention to my appearance. How could I have such a disgusting taste? My sister is young, and she cannot slander her sister like this."

His words were meant to remind His Highness that Shen Chuwei was deliberately using her young age to speak rudely.

Xiao Jinyan didn't even look at Shen Mingzhu, and ordered in a cold voice: "Liu Xi, take Shen Liangyuan out for a checkup."

"Yes." Liu Xi looked at Shen Liangyuan, "Shen Liangyuan, please go out with us."

Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth and followed Liu Xi out angrily.

Chunxi came over and asked, "Your Highness, shall we serve the meal now?"

Xiao Jinyan: "Serve the meal."

Shen Chuwei said, "Chunxi, light some incense to get rid of the smell."

The smell of shit really affects my appetite for dry rice.

"My lady, I understand." Chunxi took the order to serve the meal and lit a stick of incense.

Liu Xi ordered the eunuch beside him, "Check what was put on Shen Liangyuan's body?"

It was humiliating enough for Shen Mingzhu to just stand there and watch the two young eunuchs searching for something on her body.

As they looked at her feet, she instinctively shrank back.

The clever little eunuch immediately discovered the problem. When he squatted down, he first smelled the smell of shit, and then saw the dirty stuff on the shoe surface.

The eunuch stood up and reported: "Eunuch Liu, Shen Liangyuan's shoes are dirty, and the unpleasant smell is coming from the shoes."

Shen Mingzhu's face turned pale, and she immediately understood what the rabbit that was rubbing against her was. Her stomach churned violently with disgust.

Even if she didn't want to leave, she would not be able to stay if she lost her dignity.

"Eunuch Liu, please tell His Highness that I have something to do and need to go back first."

After Shen Mingzhu finished speaking, she left in a hurry, cursing Shen Chuwei in her heart.

Shen Chuwei, you slut, why did you raise a rabbit when you could raise anything else? You shit on my shoes and deliberately embarrassed me in front of His Highness.

Your Highness, it was clearly Shen Chuwei's fault, but you turned a blind eye to it, as if you had no eyes.

Xiao Jinyan heard all of Shen Mingzhu's insults. He was used to those women secretly cursing him in their hearts.

He looked at Shen Chuwei opposite him, who was eating a chicken leg with relish. It is said that appearance reflects the heart, and this is absolutely true. Shen Chuwei has never scolded him.

It would be better if I didn't have to think about the love-hate relationship between him and Chang Liangdi.

However, Xiao Jinyan didn't care. No one is perfect. Shen Chuwei is already much better than them, so the requirements cannot be too high.

After dinner, Xiao Jinyan drank tea as usual and asked Shen Chuwei: "How was your rest these days?"

Shen Chu smiled and said, "Your Highness, I will eat and sleep well every day."

"That's perfect." Xiao Jinyan nodded and said slowly: Managing the affairs of the Eastern Palace is actually very simple. Everyone's expenses, daily expenditures, and interpersonal relationships in the Eastern Palace..."

When Shen Chuwei heard that she had to take care of so many things, she immediately felt overwhelmed and didn't listen to anything else that was said afterwards.

No wonder Xiao Jinyan ignored the Empress' dissatisfaction and did not allow Chang Liangdi to be the concubine to manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace. These things are too time-consuming and energy-consuming.

She was just a small concubine with no background or support, and thus became the target of exploitation by Xiao Jinyan.

Wouldn’t it be nice to eat and drink it every day?

Taking care of so many things every day, what’s the difference between that and being a housekeeper?

Xiao Jinyan talked about a bunch of important matters. Seeing Shen Chuwei staring at him blankly, he asked, "Did you hear clearly?"
